When Dr. Leo Liebenstein's wife disappears, she leaves behind a
single confounding clue: a woman who looks, talks, and behaves
exactly like her. A simulatcrum. But Leo is not fooled, and he
knows better than to trust his senses in matters of the heart.
Certain that the real Rema is alive and in hiding, he embarks on a
quixotic journey to reclaim her. With the help of his psychiatric
patient Harvey--who believes himself to be a secret agent able to
conrtol the weather--his investigation leads him from the streets
of "New York City" to the southernmost reaches of Patagonia, in
search of the woman he loves. "Atmospheric Disturbances" is a
"witty, tender, and conceptually dazzling" ("Booklist") novel about
the mysterious nature of human relationships.
